WE KNOW WHERE TO FIND THE CHEAPEST GAS

NOT A LOT OF REASON TO DRIVE TO THE LOWER VALLEY BUT GAS STILL EXPENSIVE

But don't worry if you can't make it out of town to get the best deal - the average gas price in Washington State is still relatively low at $4.34 per gallon.
Nationwide, the picture is slightly different. The national average gas price has risen by 1 cent per gallon in the last week, but is still lower than it was a month ago by 18 cents per gallon and a year ago by 13.8 cents per gallon.

EVEN DIESEL PRICES ARE AT THEIR LOWEST LEVEL SINCE 2022

According to Patrick De Haan, head of petroleum analysis at GasBuddy, this may be just a temporary pause in the downward trend of gas prices, which could drop again soon. With diesel prices also at their lowest level since January 2022, motorists have plenty to be cheerful about.
